That would be difficult. Text about Site-locals not localized. Maybe we can rephrase the last sentence to "Henceforth the prefix MUST be treated as an unassigned prefix by new IPv6 implementations." > > The prefix MUST NOT be reassigned for other use > > except by a future IETF standards action.

RFC 3513 states - "Routers must not forward any packets with site-local source or destination addresses outside of the site." (Note the "must") On further thought, we can probably reorganize the section as: "This document formally deprecates the IPv6 site-local unicast prefix defined in [RFC3513], i.e. 1111111011 binary or FEC0::/10. The prefix MUST NOT be reassigned for other use except by a future IETF standards action. Future versions of the addressing architecture [RFC3513] will include this information. Henceforth FEC0::/10 prefix MUST be treated as an unassigned prefix by new IPv6 (for hosts as well as routers) implementations." I also think that we need to have a line that says something like: "The deprecation of IPv6 site-local unicast addresses is applicable to all the usages as specified in RFC A, B, C, D... . Future versions of these RFC's will remove information about site-locals". -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
